Miranda Derrick<\/strong> opened up about the cult allegations on Netflix\u2019s docuseries <\/span>Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult <\/span><\/i>released on May 29. <\/span>\u201cMy parents and sister are not religious. They immediately called me going to church twice a week a \u2018cult,\u2019\u201d shared the 27-year-old.<\/span><\/p>\n The docuseries tells the story of dance TikTokers who formed part of the 7M management company \u2014 ran by Robert Shinn, <\/strong>who is a church pastor and founded Shekinah Church \u2014 that appeared to be a cult. Miranda joined the 7M House in 2021, but just a couple months into joining the clan, her family started to notice a change in her behavior. When her family confronted her for not being able to assist their grandfather\u2019s funeral, they realized something was wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI love my Mom, Dad and Melanie and they will forever be a part of my life\u2026The truth is, we just don\u2019t see eye to eye at this time. I believe that this documentary is a one-sided story. I gave my life to Jesus Christ in 2020 and asked my family for some space in the very beginning to collect my thoughts and process my new walk I wanted to take with God,\u201d Miranda wrote on her Instagram Stories after the docuseries premiered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n She added, \u201cNo one likes to be portrayed as their brainwashed\/not in control of her own life\/shell of herself\/human trafficked daughter\/sister when that just isn\u2019t the truth.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Though she may not be on the best terms with her family, she still has been trying to make amends and reunite with them. The TikToker shared an Instagram post of herself in a long black gown at her sister\u2019s wedding on May 27.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI have been getting together with them over the past couple years to make amends, move on and work things out as a family. This documentary has created a further challenge between us as I work to overcome this public attack,\u201d Miranda added in her recent Instagram Stories statement.<\/span><\/p>\n Past members of 7M \u2014 who are currently in a civil lawsuit against Robert \u2014 alleged that the head of 7M encouraged them to part ways from family. One of the dancers even recalled how Miranda was \u201cbrainwashed\u201d after alleging that Miranda once told her she missed her family but was told by the pastor it would not be a good idea.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Rolling Stone <\/span><\/i>reported, \u201cShekinah is a cult operating under the disguise of a religious institution,\u201d though the founder of Shekinah Church has denied the accusation in court documents, per <\/span>NBC News<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Miranda](\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/miranda-embed.jpg?quality=100&w=670\")
